I Rock
Posted on October 21, 2004 by Ching under Poker, School.
I freakin’ rock! That’s all there is to it!
I was telling Brian just now (after I got task 2 of programming assignment 4 to work; it’s an amortization schedule program) that the reason why I always procrastinate is that I work better under pressure. I probably spent three hours total on both task 1 (a stopwatch program) and task 2 together and they both look pretty damn good to me.
Yesterday was a day of immaculate procrastination. I went to work and, instead of coming home to do school work, I went shopping at Express (bought $150 worth of stuff but my team gave me a $40 gift card for Bosses’ Day, so that helped quite a bit). Then I went home to change into clothes I could workout in, met Ashley at the North YMCA, did a 45-minute BOSU workout class with her and then did the 45-minute step class right after and then I played racquetball with Brian to boot!
When Brian arrived at the Y, he told me that Branden’s poker chips were still in my trunk from last Saturday (we’d totally forgotten about them) and we needed to drive over there to bring the chips because Branden’s usual Tuesday night poker game was going to start at 10:30 PM. It was no problem because the YMCA closes at ten anyway. But then, I decided that if I was going over there to bring the poker chips, I might as well stay and play. It was just a $10 buy-in anyway. Unlike the $50 game on Saturday.
You will never believe this! Branden held off starting the session because of a stupid baseball game and so we were there until well after 2:00 AM! I got knocked out by Jason and ended up 5th (stupid river card). I was really ticked because I had to stay up, miss the opportunity to work on my programs, and I had nothing to show for it!
Although..
Brian ended up winning second!
He took home $60, so technically we made (or shall I say HE made) $40 last night (this morning; whatever). But Branden pointed out that since I lost $50 on Saturday, we are technically still in the hole. He took 3rd and I took 4th – and he JUST had to rub it in.
But who’s counting?
We’ve lost so many times playing the Tuesday night $10 buy-ins at his place.. Who cares? It’s fun. Besides, it’s not really so much the money (although the money helps, too) – I just want to freakin’ win!
Speaking of winning, it really irks me that Brian has won first and taken home a prize (the shuffleboard table, remember?) and now he has won second and taken $60 and I haven’t won jack. And yet I’m the BETTER poker player!! Ugh!
